The following is a '''list of ongoing armed conflicts''' that are taking place around the world.
]


==Criteria==
The following is a '''list of ongoing political conflicts''' that are taking place around the world and which continue to result in violent deaths. This list is for the sole purpose of identifying present-day conflicts and the death toll associated with each conflict.
]
This list of ongoing armed conflicts identifies present-day conflicts and the death toll associated with each conflict. The criteria of inclusion are the following:
* Armed conflicts consist in the use of armed force between two or more organized armed groups, governmental or non-governmental.<ref>{{cite web|title=How is the Term "Armed Conflict" Defined in International Humanitarian Law?|url=https://www.icrc.org/eng/assets/files/other/opinion-paper-armed-conflict.pdf|website=International Committee of the Red Cross|date=March 2008|access-date=1 February 2015|archive-date=1 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181101193920/https://www.icrc.org/eng/assets/files/other/opinion-paper-armed-conflict.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> Interstate, intrastate and non-state armed conflicts are listed.
:* This is not a ], and criminal ] is generally not included unless there is also significant ] or ] involvement.
* Fatality figures include battle-related deaths (military and civilian) as well as civilians ''intentionally targeted'' by the parties to an armed conflict. Only direct deaths resulting from violence are included for the current and previous year; excess deaths indirectly resulting from famine, disease, or disruption of services are included along with violent deaths in the cumulative fatalities count when available.
* Listed conflicts have at least 100 cumulative deaths in total and at least 1 death in current or in the past calendar year.
* Fatality totals may be inaccurate or unavailable due to a lack of information. A figure with a plus symbol, indicates that at least that many people have died (e.g. 455+ indicates that at least 455 people have died).
* ''Location'' refers to the states where the main violence takes place, not to the warring parties. Italics indicate disputed territories and ].
* A ] or a ] movement which has not experienced deliberate and systematic deaths due to state or paramilitary violence is not considered to be an armed conflict.


{{anchor|Major wars}}<!--linked from redirect "Major wars"-->
Fatality figures include both civilian and military deaths. Political conflicts which no longer produce violent deaths are not listed here, but can be found in the historical ] and the ].


==1000+ deaths per year== ==Major wars (10,000 or more combat-related deaths in current or previous year)==
The 5 conflicts in the following list have caused at least 10,000 direct, violent deaths per year in battles between identified groups, in the current or previous calendar year.<ref name="acled-curated-data-files">{{cite web |url=https://www.acleddata.com/curated-data-files/ |title=Curated Data |publisher=Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project {ACLED} |access-date=2019-04-10}}</ref>
Conflicts in the following list are currently causing at least 1000 violent deaths per year, a categorization used by the ]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pcr.uu.se/database/definitions_all.htm#inten |title=Definitions |accessdate=2009-05-04}}</ref> and recognised by the ]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/index.html |publisher=] |title=The World at War |accessdate=2008-05-12}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://ochaonline.un.org/humanitariannegotiations/Chapter1-2.htm#FNfour |title=Humanitarian Negotiations with Armed Groups, A Manual & Guidelines for Practitioners |accessdate=2009-05-04}}</ref>.

Latest revision as of 15:49, 27 December 2024

Map of ongoing armed conflicts (number of combat-related deaths in current or previous year):   Major wars (10,000 or more)   Wars (1,000–9,999)   Minor conflicts (100–999)   Skirmishes and clashes (1–99)

The following is a list of ongoing armed conflicts that are taking place around the world.

Criteria

Stacked bar chart, one stack per year
Conflict deaths in the 17 deadliest conflicts 2015–2020

This list of ongoing armed conflicts identifies present-day conflicts and the death toll associated with each conflict. The criteria of inclusion are the following:

  • Armed conflicts consist in the use of armed force between two or more organized armed groups, governmental or non-governmental. Interstate, intrastate and non-state armed conflicts are listed.
  • Fatality figures include battle-related deaths (military and civilian) as well as civilians intentionally targeted by the parties to an armed conflict. Only direct deaths resulting from violence are included for the current and previous year; excess deaths indirectly resulting from famine, disease, or disruption of services are included along with violent deaths in the cumulative fatalities count when available.
  • Listed conflicts have at least 100 cumulative deaths in total and at least 1 death in current or in the past calendar year.
  • Fatality totals may be inaccurate or unavailable due to a lack of information. A figure with a plus symbol, indicates that at least that many people have died (e.g. 455+ indicates that at least 455 people have died).
  • Location refers to the states where the main violence takes place, not to the warring parties. Italics indicate disputed territories and unrecognized states.
  • A territorial dispute or a protest movement which has not experienced deliberate and systematic deaths due to state or paramilitary violence is not considered to be an armed conflict.

Major wars (10,000 or more combat-related deaths in current or previous year)

The 5 conflicts in the following list have caused at least 10,000 direct, violent deaths per year in battles between identified groups, in the current or previous calendar year.
